Lovely Woman at the Bank

 A gentle, lovely woman entered Main street bank yesterday. She wanted check cashed, so she went to the receiving teller's window and thrust the check in. The teller showed it back. "Next winder," said he. "Next winter! can't wait till next win- ter," exclaimed the lady.
 1T said next winder," shouted the teller: "w-i n d -o-w, winder; tother winder."
 "Oh, yes, but this is the receiving window, isn't ita" "Yes, but you can't get any money here. ,
 "But I'm going to receive it, ain't F."
 'tNot here you ain't; go to the other win der, lady; he'll fix you"
 The lady was still uncertain, but she went and showed in her check. The polite official thrust it back ''Its not endorsed, madam, J said he.
 ''Not endorseda What does that meana"
 "Is your name Tucker?"
 ''P'raps it is and p'raps it isn't What business is that oyoursi"
 ''Is this your name on the face of this checka"
 "Yes, it is."
 "Well, you've got to endorse it."
 fsThat's what you said before. What do you moanf
 sYou must write your name across the back of it.''
 s'But my names on it already"
 con the front. That ain't enough; it must be across the back" ''Oh, well, gi'me it." She took 1t and carefully wrote her name upside down across the bottom ot the check and handed it in.
 tYou endorsed it wrong, madam"
 sHow'd I know how you wanted it! Why didn't you tell me?'
 'I thought did; here, write it across the top so;" and the teller painfully showed her, and with much grudging she complied. The teller thereupon cashed her check with two silver dollars.
 "I ain't going to take those," she said. "Gi'me bills"
 The teller sighed and gave her two one- dollar bills, whereupon she picked up her parasol and departed.

could be interpreted but i'll one way, as showing want of the very independence and courage, belief in which not only elected the President, but which has given him great public confidence.
 Bavaria is perhaps the only civilized coun- try that has practically abolished hydropho- bia During the last seven years there have been only three deaths of human beings from hydrophobia in a population number ing close upon six millions; and since 1876, when the present severe dog laws came into operation, there has never been more than one death in a year. Previously to that time deaths were very frequent Between 1863 and 1876 the death rate from hydrophobia in Bavaria was never less than fourteen year, and once it reached the high percentage of thirty-one The regulations which have banished this terrible malady from a whole kingdom are very minute. Every dog in the coutry is bound, upon pain of instant death, to bear upon his collar metal tally, upon which is inscribed his number upon the reg ister of his district. The color and shape of this tally, which is really the dogs passport are changed every year; and the police are thus able to see at glance if dog is 'in order" Once a month all dogs have to be examined by veterinary surgeon; and if they are not in good health they are detained in kind of dogs hospital until they rscov- CT. If an animal changes hands, the trans fer must be at once notified to the police; and any breach of the regulation-even de lay of a few days in the payment of the tax is visited by heavy fine. The tax varies from s. year Tn the country districts te 15s in the large towns.

A Practical Sugeestfsn.

E. ShuSter in North American Review
 All over Germany exist what are called ''Sparcassen" Savings banks), which cor respond, in measure, to the endowment plan of the Americad assurance companies. The best known is the "Wilhelmscasse, " named after the emporer, who it's patron. At the birth of girl, the father and mother insure her (kanfen sic ein) in such Casse for as much as they are able to bestow every year on the future of their newborn baby girl The amount Is paid annually. The Casse lays out the money in behalf of the insured, at interest, chiefly in real estate. In this way the money acoumulates, and at eighteen, or her majority, the girl Is the possessor of snug little capital. This will serve her to study any favored profession, go to some good conservatory, or start in business; and last but not least, buy her trousseau, if she has q ch-nce to follow woman's truest missionl Now, why cannot well-to-do American women establish such a way of providing for their less fortunate sisters9 What blessed gift from 8 god mother to poor little girl such an insurance would bel I truly believe it would give zeal and encouragement to many true, poor parents, to provide for their dear ones. It is better than life insurance, for 1t takes away the ''sting of death;" all may live and enjoy the fruit of their economyl How much better a yearly outlay would be, for people in moderate circumstances, than in costly toys and extravagant dress, by which children are brought up to expec- tationa

AN UNFAsnIONABLR QUEEN.
vIctorfa's Dowdy Style of Dressing. Her Love for LoW.Necked Dresses.

VIctorfa,s DoEdy Style of Dressing
 Her Love for LoW.Necked Dresses.
 [London Letter to San Francisco Argonaut.]
 The secret ot it is, of course, that the
 Queen isn't fashionable. Everybody is glad
 to see her when she passes or appears in
 public, is willing to doff his hat when the
 band plays 'sGod Save the Queen," to
 drink her health whenever it is proposed,
 and to give her three cheers whenever the
 occasion calls for the same. Of course it
 is the correct thing and "good form"
 and all that, to attire one's self in one's
 smartest coats, frocks, hats and bonnets, wherever the Queen is to be: and not to
 be we'll and smartly dressed when she is
 wresent would be the highest of social trea- son. But the ssgood formn of the thing on the one sipe and the "high treason" on the other would be not so much on account of the Queen, as because of the other swells one would be sure to meet, and who would never forget or forgive badly made. unfash- sort of mutual compulsion and restraint, one
 on the other. The Queen never sets fash
 ion, though she may control and keep in
 bounds those of others origination-for example, sleeveless gowns, which she posi- lively forbade to be worn at court, though they were worn everywhere else. The pos
 sessors of pretty, plump, white and grace fully moulded arms naturally liked to showed them, and the men didn't object to the ex- hibition. Though the Queen set her face against the narrow shoulder-strap 1t didn make 1t unfashionable. Oddly enough. Her Majesty doesn't appear to mind how low the bodices are. can hardly fancy any woman being possibly able to lower her bodiees hundredth part of an inch beneath the line adopted by the Princess of Wales. She has very pretty pretty shoulders, nice, smooth neck, and a bust which, though per haps hardly one for a sculptoris model, is rounder and more billowy than those of nine tenths of the other decollete dressers of high life. For my own part, haven't the least objection to the 1ow-necked dresses which limited to people with nice necks like the Princess of Wales and let me mention

He Knows This Trick Now


 'tHaye any of you found a bank note?" inquired man in wjld-eyed excitement as he hurriedly approached a knot of loungers at the Union depot yesterday morn jog.
 'Have you lost onea" asked an elder ly stranger of bland and sedate appear ance.
 :tYes, yes; have you found it!"
 ''Wait moment. What was it's denomi- nations"
 ''It was $60 bill-National bank note." The stranger leisurely drew roll of bills from his pocket, looked them over, took one out, and passed it over to the excited indi- vidual, remarking with much urbanity as he did so:
 1t is we'll for you, my friend, that 1t was found by an honest man. picked it up a few minutes ago, and take pleasure in giving back to you what am satisfied is your prop erty."
 sThank you, sir; thank you. It's my turn now to do the fair thing Here's q ten-doliar bill You shan't refuse it. Takeit, sir; take it, or shall feel hurt.' The stranger, thus urged, took the money, and the grateful individual walked off with his $50. He was considerably surprised to learn, few hours later, that the bill was not the one he had lost at all but counterfeit. He is now looking for the bland and elderly stranger, but there are reasons for doubting his success in finding him.
